A Series Of Paintings Investigating Certain Specified Space Concepts, Michael C. Jackson
All Master's Theses
This thesis is devoted only to that work considered completely investigated: a portrait/figure series of seven paintings. In addition, the series of works with which this thesis is devoted essentially follow this format: large areas of architectural space and color versus a natural object- -a portrait figure.
